to the interview with Sir Lionel West, Brit
ish ambassador at Washington, in New
York, on Tuesday, in reference to the fish
cry question, the impression prevails in offc-
lals circles here that mixed commission,
similar to that which sat in Halifax in 1872,
will be agreed upon, and that the fishery
question, including such international diff
cultles as that involved in the headlands
matter, will be settled forever.

The Prison Laborers.

The State Prison committee met today and
discussed the convict labor question. They
decided to recommend that the Legislature
advise the Governor and Council to see about
the employment of part of those convicts
now making harnesses and carriages, in the
manufacture of whips, chairs such as the
Shakers make, com brooms and baskets.
The idea is that by the addition of these in
oustries the labor at the prison would be so
subdivided that no one industry would suffer
much. Meanwhile the judiciary committee
have prepared for hearing on the same sub
ject which will come off February 23d.

Capt. Dabney, of the British steam
ship Harbinger, from Rio Marina to
Baltimore, with iron ore, reports pc
culiar and unexplained phenomenon
occurring at sea on the night of March
81. The steamer was on the inner
edge of the Gulf streamj and there was
no sea on and the wind was very light.
The water registered 65 degrees. Sud-
denly there Was mighty upheaval in
the sea. The port side of the vessel
was struck with such force that she
trembied violently. The sea swept
clean over the vessel, filing the decks,
engine-room and stokehole, endanger-
ing the lives Of the en:beiow. The sea
kept up a violent agitation for two
hours, accompanied with an unusually
heavy fall Of rain, the wind rising and
blowing northwest around to south
west. Capt. DAbney put the vessel
hard to sea and retained that position
until the sea fell.-Zimes-D Democrat.
